Happy 1st day of summer!!! This probably comes as no surprise, but HELLO! A margarita
recipe. I just can’t help myself. But not just any margarita.A fresh pineapple margarita! Does anything sound more appealing? I don’t know what I like more in this margarita. The bright flavor of the fresh pineapple puree. ...or the yummy cinnamony sugary rim?

This is easily my favorite cocktail to make at home.And maybe for the color alone; it is thee most stunning shade of bright yellow! Fresh pineapple
and citrus juice are definitely the key players here so make sure you use freshly squeezed
lemon, lime and orange juice to make it extra special.

And the cinnamon sugar rim? Game changer, so don’t skip out
on it.But if you MUST be traditional, a
salted rim would be phenomenal.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 Cocktail):

½ Cup Fresh Pineapple, Chopped

1 Ounce Grand Mariner

2 Ounces Good Tequila, Silver or Gold, based on your
preference

½ Ounce Fresh Lime Juice (About 1 Lime)

½ Ounce Fresh Orange Juice (About ½ Orange)

½ Ounce Fresh Lemon Juice (About ½ Lemon)

Cinnamon + Sugar for the Rim, Plus Cherries and Pineapple
for Garnish

Whenever I get ready to have happy hour or cocktails at home, I make sure to make it an EXPERIENCE! To me, that means gathering all of my ingredients, pretty glasses, and garnishes - and setting them up into a lovely arrangement. It just makes me happy. This also inspires me to create something delicious AND beautiful – which is always a must.

{To begin making the cocktail, put fresh pineapple chunks and the Grand Marnier into a blender.}

{Pulse the pineapple and orange liqueur until it makes a delicious boozy pineapple puree.}

{Make sure it's perfectly smooth and blended. Pro Tip: store any leftover pineapple puree in the fridge for a few days and add it to wine or champagne for a wine cooler or Bellini situation! I could drink this concoction with a spoon.}
